Ned Goodwin - JamesSuckling.com
Quintessential Aussie riesling, blaring lime blossom, lemon drop and tonic water to good length. A little green, to be twee. Yet the thrust, juiciness and grippy drive override any sense of overt astringency. Good drinking.

Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front
There’s ample texture to this riesling. It’s punchy with flavour too. Lime and lime leaf, floral notes, bursts of Meyer lemon and a gentle waxiness to the mouthfeel. There’s zip and there’s gather. It’s a fun/characterful riesling to drink.
Jeni Port - Halliday Wine Companion
Über cool-climate riesling, the kind that zings and zips its way across the tongue. That acid tang is unmissable and so exhilarating, especially so if you like your riesling with a racy personality. Citrus lives here together with Granny Smith apple bite and tart quince. Can be enjoyed now or later or both.
